Well they already believe imaginary whores are aborting at 8 months. Why not also believe in imaginary doctors too.

Don't tempt fate. Have your pregnancy in a state that can attract quality professionals and where the medical professionals can practice the best standards of care.

Believe me, people will get the message and it won’t take a big national news story to do it. Humans will *always* want to live where they have more rights, not less.

The hardcore true believers are desperately trying to hold the cult together because they know that the more sensible among them are planning to bail out of the red states at the first opportunity.

There's literally research published about how restrictive laws create confusion among medical professionals.

But also, think about this: If you're this determined to only believe what you want to believe and disregard ALL evidence to the contrary (or move goalposts as a method of explaining away any research that contradicts your belief), that is the hallmark of a conspiracy theorist.

You are a conspiracy theorist. Ask yourself, what would it take for me to believe anything different than what I believe? If you can't come up with anything you've revealed your own bias to yourself.

DP - there are many other research articles that can be pulled if you bother looking, including data on the impact of abortion laws in other countries.

However, if your default is to just believe the other random people posting in your community forums, that says everything about how you come to conclusions - i.e. you just want to believe what you want to believe and no amount of data nor evidence matters.

You should listen to Ezra Kleins podcast (todays episode). I’m a lefty liberal but blue state policies, especially on housing, means that moving for the chance of pregnancy complications is wildly unrealistic.

Agree. This will just serve to suppress the birth rate and some pregnancies will just be avoided entirely due to the heightened risks of pregancy and deliver in these states.

Moving in general is a difficult endeavor and the less means someone has the more difficult it is. Especially to move far away where no family and friends are.

This is such a bad environment for maternal health. Really depressing.

I don’t believe this will happen overnight, but over time I’m sure we will see a steady migration. People will refuse job offers in red states, or just not apply at all. Fewer blue state kids will go to red state colleges. It will add up. And it will only move in one direction too. Republicans in blue states will not move to red states because abortion is illegal there. But liberals and moderates in red states *will* move to blue states to gain more rights and options for current and planned pregnancies. Stopping someone you don’t know from having an abortion doesn’t make your life any better, but giving yourself more options in your own pregnancy definitely does. I think this is absolutely inevitable, given the current trajectory.

I might be reading the PP wrong but I don’t think they agree; they just read the forced birther forums. Good links though!

It’s horrifying. It proves that it’s all about hating women, nothing else, and that the cruelty is the point. These draconian laws will catch so many women who aren’t even pursuing abortion but need one to save their lives.

A lot of people will be caught in the net. Stories will get out and spread by word of mouth. Why would you choose to live in a place where you’re absolutely f*cked if your pregnancy goes bad—if you have the option to escape?

The vagueness of the laws and the uncertainty they create are a feature, not a bug. This is what the forced-birthers wanted so that doctors would stop all abortion care.

Extremists like Alexandra DeSanctis Marr have moved the goalposts so many times it's mindboggling.

She posted this in December

Yet now she wants to claim that these laws only outlaw "elective abortions" but not medically necessary ones.

Why would you choose to join a practice in such a place where the care you give is not dictated by your medical expertise and the decisions made between you and your patient?
